Help!
In about 3 weeks' time I'm going to an event (in Chicago) with a bunch of guys who I have reason to suspect will be talking a lot about baseball. I need to quickly learn the lingo so I can fit in!
Does anyone have any phrases I can borrow? Any famous players I can name drop?
And maybe ways I can use the phrases & names in social contexts? Let's say I'm ordering beer. Can I say something about "home-runs" or "innings" when they bring it to the table?
Oh, and I'll be sure to say "3 strikes and you're out!" if someone drinks too much and is shown the door! Right?
